Ingredients
- 1 kg Beef ribs
- 10 g Salt
- 5 g Black pepper, freshly ground
- 100 g Chimichurri sauce
- 5 g Oregano
- 10 g Fresh parsley, chopped
- 50 ml Olive oil
- 5 g Garlic powder
- 5 g Chili powder

Method
- Preheat your oven to 160°C. Ensure your beef ribs are at room temperature. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel and season them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder.
- In a large ovenproof dish, drizzle olive oil and lay the ribs, ribs side down. Scatter thyme and chopped parsley over them.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and slow-cook the ribs in the oven for 1.5 hours, ensuring the ribs are tender and juicy.
- Increase the temperature to 200°C, remove the foil, and brush the ribs generously with chimichurri sauce.
- Return to oven for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize, ensuring a crispy, flavorful crust.
- Remove from the oven, let the ribs rest for 5 minutes, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a touch of additional chimichurri.
Tips
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the ribs with chimichurri sauce overnight in the refrigerator.
- Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad to complement the rich flavors of the beef ribs.
